Questions? Answers.
Is AniDachi free?
Yes. Free includes 20 minutes a day for rooms of up to 4 people, including you. Plus and Pro have no daily time limit. Friends can join your room for free. No card is needed for Free.
How do my free minutes work?
Your minutes count while you and at least one guest are in your room, even when the video is paused. Waiting alone uses no time. You share one allowance across your rooms and devices. It resets at 00:00 UTC every day; unused minutes don’t carry over. Joining someone else’s room doesn’t use your minutes.
What streaming services does AniDachi support?
Crunchyroll, YouTube and Netflix in desktop Chrome. AniDachi syncs each person’s own player and adds chat, reactions, voice and video. YouTube Shorts, embeds and homepage feeds are not supported.
How do I watch Crunchyroll with friends using AniDachi?
Install AniDachi in desktop Chrome and open an episode on Crunchyroll. Open the AniDachi panel, click Create room and share the invite link. Friends need the extension and their own access to the episode.
Do all my friends need an AniDachi subscription?
No. Friends can join your room for free. Your plan sets the room size. Everyone needs the extension and their own access to the video. Saving personal watch progress requires each viewer’s own Plus or Pro plan.
What's the difference between Plus and Pro?
Plus supports up to 6 people; Pro supports up to 15, including the host. Both have no daily time limit and include personal watch history. Pro also has more microphones and priority support. Both offer monthly or yearly billing.
More questionsFewer questions
Can I watch YouTube together with AniDachi?
Yes. Open a full youtube.com/watch page in desktop Chrome. A Free, Plus, or Pro host creates the room and shares the invite; friends join for free on their own video pages. Shorts, embeds, and the mobile apps are not supported. Async catch-up is coming soon.
Can I watch anime with friends asynchronously?
Not yet. AniDachi currently supports live rooms where you watch and chat together. Async catch-up is coming soon.
Do all my friends need a Crunchyroll account?
For Crunchyroll anime nights, each person needs their own Crunchyroll account to stream. For YouTube watchrooms, each person uses their own YouTube session. For Netflix, each person needs their own access to the same title. AniDachi handles the sync, watchrooms, and chat layer on top of the services that are available today.
Does Crunchyroll have a built-in watch party feature?
No. Crunchyroll does not offer a native watch-together feature. AniDachi fills this gap with a Chrome extension that syncs playback, detects anime automatically, and adds real-time chat on top of your existing Crunchyroll account.
How is AniDachi different from Teleparty or Crunchyroll Party?
AniDachi syncs each person’s own player on Crunchyroll, YouTube and Netflix. Chat, reactions, voice and video stay on your video. Plus and Pro also save your personal watch progress.
Does AniDachi work on mobile?
You can access your account and manage saved watch history on the website from your phone. Live watchrooms require desktop Chrome with the AniDachi extension installed.
